The splendour along Lake Geneva as Montreux Jazz Festival plays

The Montreux Jazz Festival is a music festival like no other and in this episode, we look at why.

Taking in the chalet full of pop memorabilia that founder Claude Nobs amassed as he welcomed the likes of David Bowie, Prince and Freddie Mercury to the Swiss town or the fabled events that led to one of Deep Purple's biggest hits, this episode of Travel Smart looks at what makes the festival such a unique experience as well as what else you can do by Lake Geneva on a visit.
